being pleasant, he drank all of 1t, about a

afterwards he complained that his feet and
legs were cold, and in less than three hours
had to be sent home. Doctor Eddlcman
says he found his legs as cold as ice and

Off with his staff to reconnoiter i'll front

idea to stretch completely around In the
rear OF Hooker and cut him off from the
river. f.
The night was dark and Jackson soon
came upon the Union lines. Their in
tantry drove him back, and as he re-
turned IN the darkness his own soldiers
began firing at their commander, of
course mistaking his party for the
enemy. jackson was shot in the hand
and wrist and in the upper arm at the
same time. His horse turned and the
General lost his hold of the bride rein;
his cap was brushed from his head by
the branches; he reeled and was caught
in tho arms of an officer. After o mo-
mont he was assisted to dismount, his
wound was examined and litter was
brought. Just then the Union artillery
opened again, and murderous fire
came down upon the party through tho
woods and the darkness. One" the
litter bearers stumbled and fell, and the
others were frightened; they laid the
litter down on the ground, the furious
storm of shot and shell sweeping over
them like hail. Jackson attempted to
rise, but his aide e-de camp held him down
till the tempest of fire WAS lulled. Then
the wounded General was helped to rise,
and walked a few steps i'll the forest;
but he became faint, and was laid again
on the litter. Once he rolled to tho
ground, when an assistant was shot, and
the litter fell. Just thon General Pcnder,
one of his subordinates, passed. lie
stopped and said:

General. [ fear shall have to retire NJ
troops, they are SO much broken"
But Jackson looked up at once and
exclaimed:
"You must hold your ground, General
Pender; you must hold your ground,
sir!"
This was the last order ho ever gave.
He was borne some distance to the near.
est house and examined by tho surgeon
and after midnight his left arm was am
putated ut the shoulder.
